Let Us Be
Vineyard Music Lyrics

Oh Lord open my lips
I pray to you, God, to free me from speechlessness and help me express your virtues

And my mouth will declare your praise
I will praise you through my words when you grant me the power to do so

My sin is ever before me
I am constantly reminded of my mistakes and transgressions

But your love is a love that saves
Despite my flaws, your love is pure and powerful enough to save and redeem me

When I see is evil
When I am confronted with wickedness in the world

I know your hand will guide me through
I acknowledge that you will lead me through hardships and protect me through my faith in you

When all I see is darkness
When my life feels hopeless and bleak

Even the darkness is light to you
You see and understand the darkness and pain I experience, and can bring light and joy back into my life

Let there be joy and gladness
I ask for happiness and delight in your teachings

Let your people rejoice
I hope for all of humanity to find joy and comfort in you

Create in me a pure heart lord
I ask you, Lord, to cleanse my soul and help me lead a more virtuous life

Let your Spirit restore
I ask for the Holy Spirit to guide me and help me regain my spiritual balance

You are the light
You represent the hope and joy that shines through in the darkest of times

You are the love we need in our world today
Your love and teachings can help heal the world and guide us to a brighter future

Oh Lord you are the hope
You are the source of my faith and optimism in the face of adversity

You've opened the scroll to show the way
You have revealed yourself to me and laid out a path for me to follow

Let your love reign in my life
I pray that your love will lead and guide me throughout my life

I'll be a sacrifice today
I am willing to make sacrifices in my life in order to more closely follow your teachings

When all I see is broken
When everything around me seems hopeless or in disrepair

I know that you make all things new
I believe that through your love and guidance, you can help mend and restore the world around us

When all I see is division
When there is conflict or strife between people

I know what your gospel is here to do
I trust in the teachings of the Bible to unite and bring peace to humanity

Let justice roll on like a river
I hope that justice will flow through the world like a river, never ceasing or faltering

Like a never-failing stream
Just as a stream will never stop flowing, I pray that justice will continue to be served in this world

Let it roll on like a river
I ask for justice and fairness to be never-ending, just like a river

And be seen through you and me
I hope that through my actions and behavior, as well as the actions of others, justice and fairness will be evident in the world

I know your love is the answer
I believe that your pure and unending love is the solution to the troubles in the world

To everything we see
Your love has the power to heal and make right all that is wrong in our lives

So let it roll on like a river
I ask for your love and justice to never cease, and to continually guide and inspire us

Let it roll, let it roll
I pray for justice and love to continue flowing and spreading throughout the world

Let it flow (Like a never-failing stream)
May your love and justice be unending and never falter, just like the unending flow of a stream

Unending
May your love and justice never cease and be everlasting
